Step Three: Mounting the P4 Speaker
Due to the weight of the P4 speaker,it is recommended that the
installation be performed with the P4 speaker laying face down with
the grille removed on a soft surface such as a plush carpeted floor
or the P4 shipping carton. Inspect the area wherethe speaker will
lay making sure that there are no objects that could damage the
speakers or scratch the front of the P4.
1. Position the P4TS close to the P4 speaker as illustrated.
2. Connect the speaker wireto the terminals on the P4 speaker.
3. Mount the speaker to the post by lining up the two threaded
inserts in the back of the P4 speaker with the two outside
machined holes (middle hole is not used) in the post. Insert the
two speaker screws (short) and tighten. Insert the plug into the
unused machined hole on the post.
Note: Do not over-tighten the screws.
4. Take up any slack in the speaker wireby gently pulling the wire
at the opening in the base.
